The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood

Here are the beloved adventures of the mischievous hero Robin Hood and his brave and merry band of outlaws, who forged a chivalrous code to protect the oppressed and despoil the oppressors. Follow along as Robin makes his breathtaking escapes from his archenemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham, while classic characters like Friar Tuck, Will Scarlet, and Little John create one hilarious escapade after another.

Great Expectations

One of the most revered works in English literature, Great Expectations traces the coming of age of a young orphan, Pip, from a boy of shallow aspirations into a man of maturity. From the chilling opening confrontation with an escaped convict to the grand but eerily disheveled estate of bitter old Miss Havisham, all is not what it seems in Dickens’ dark tale of false illusions and thwarted desire.

Publisher's Summary

Edison was a prolific inventor. Among his hundreds of patents is the gramophone, the electric light bulb, the telephone, the kinematograph, and the electricity generator. Of all the people who have shaped our modern world it is Edison who had more impact than anyone else. In his 84 years of life, Edison rose from unschooled rustic to the most celebrated inventor of all time; the man who, for a price, would invent anything for anyone, and would lose the money just as easily on fruitless investigation; the man who, for most of his life, worked for 20 hours a day, often for days on end, without sleep, until his work was perfected.
